The sleepy, picturesque fishing village of Prospect, viewable from Connington Island.

Connington Island is a dream property ideally situated just 20 minutes from Halifax, a gorgeous, untouched island and peninsula just waiting to be transformed into an idyllic vacation retreat. A rare circumstance has resulted in this package being offered at a spectacular price, also making Connington an excellent investment opportunity.

The well-elevated island is approximately 6 acres, and the mainland peninsula adds another 3 acres to the property. These complimentary properties are both untouched, but with extensive development potential. The peninsula is reachable from a newly-constructed gravel road, and the calm waters between the mainland and the island make it easily accessible via a small boat or, in warmer weather, an enjoyable swim.

A vacation residence is possible on either property, depending on the needs of the owner. The peninsula is perfect for a vacation cottage, and the island could be an idyllic place for a picnic area or gazebo and garden. For those desiring more privacy and a true island experience, one could construct a cottage on the island with sweeping views of Prospect and the rustic Nova Scotia wilderness, with boat mooring and parking on the mainland. The neighboring island is undeveloped Crown land, ensuring the ultimate in seclusion- however, even in this natural setting utilities and other amenities are simple to obtain from a nearby development.

The full quality of Nova Scotia's historic charm is captured by the nearby town of Prospect, at the edge of Prospect Bay Road. Stretching out into the Bay along a slim peninsula, the traditional clapboard homes and white, high-steepled church evoke the simplicity and character of life on Canada's East Coast. Views of this idyllic village can be enjoyed from both the peninsula and island, and you will be just minutes from shops and lovely restaurants. And the world renowned vacation destination of Peggy's Cove is also an easy drive from Prospect, offering the scenic shops, restaurants and lighthouse that draw visitors from across the world.
